The hallway moves into another cavelike area, this one much smaller, with another creek flowing through it. No pool this time. This time a section has collapsed and the areas is not that large. Alzar finds a store room down here with nothing in it after a quick inspection, and moves back to the other gate room. While moving, he runs into a cave bear moving from one room into another. This huge bear rears up. They are very aggressive.
Alzar wants to fight it, and draws his staff. He pulls back the animal skeletons to the sides, and moves the two skeletons in front. He will use the skeletons in front, and then nip in with the animal skeletons and Megala after the bear is engaged.
The Cave Bear swings first, and paws kill a skeleton. Alzar misses, the skeleton hits for 2 damage. The next turn, Alzar goes and hits for 6. The skeleton misses. Megala hits it for 1 damage and it…makes its save vs sleep. The animal skeletons nip at it and all miss (in fact, FOUR out of 8 rolled 1s None rolled higher than a 4. I kid you not. ) The bear kills the other skeleton. The bear goes first and misses Alzar completely with three attacks (rolled a 4, 6, and 7). Alzar nails it for 4 damage. Megala misses. Three animal skeletons nip it for 5 damage. It is reeling, and moves to flee, but Megala flies down chasing it, hits it, and deals 3 to it, killing it.
XP Gained – 325
Lost two skeletons.
There are two exits from the gateroom, South and east. Alzar goes east. The hallways goes, and then bends into a door and continues. Inside the door are Reed pens, ink wells, scraps of paper, and other signs that this was recently a library or study. Now it is a den for messy kobolds Five of them, a mother, a father and three kids, are playing, and Alzar has interrupted them. He kicks them out, and they take their bags of clothes and leave. A search of the room turns up nothing.
The corridor continues and Alzar enters the next room. In here are bags of grain, brooms, beer barrels and other signs that this is a storeroom. It has nothing it in and nothing shows on a search. As Alzar searches, a group of goblins come by. Alzar quietly closes the door and they pass, and just after they do, he jumps out, attacks, and kills one immediately, and the rest run in surprise. There is nothing on the goblin’s corpse.
XP – 10
The next room down is a kitchen, with wooden trenchers, spoons, knives and such around kitchen furniture. There is a large pile of rags on the floor, by the fireplace. Alazr orders his minions to search the room, and an animal skeletons runs into a spitting cobra in the pile of rags. They kill it, but one died 7 left.
XP – 25
The search finishes and Alzar finds a golden ring with the initials AES in it, and it is worth 100 gold.
